Despite traveling as much as 4,500 miles – much of it on foot – hundreds of migrants have already accepted free flights home rather than stay longer in the filth-strewn sports complex that has become their temporary home in Tijuana, Mexico.Lice and respiratory infections are becoming endemic inside the Benito Juarez sports complex and health workers warn that it’s a matter of ‘when, not if’ an outbreak of serious disease sweeps the scruffy labyrinth of tents and tarps sheltering an estimated 6,000 people.

Tijuana’s Health Department revealed on Thursday that there are cases of migrants suffering from tuberculosis, chickenpox, skin infections, and there is now a risk of an hepatitis outbreak due to the squalid conditions.

So far, there have been three confirmed cases of tuberculosis, four of chickenpox, and four cases of HIV/AIDS.

There is also the threat of Hepatitis A, which has plagued neighboring San Diego recently. A significant factor contributing to the spread of disease and pests is the limited availability of sanitation.

The location also has only 35 portable bathrooms. A sign reading “No Spitting” was put up, as coughing and spitting by migrants are rampant in the shelter.

Tijuana Mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum said Tuesday that the city has enough money to assist the migrants only for a few more days, with the city saying it’s spending around $30,000 a day.

“We won’t compromise the resources of the residents of Tijuana,” Gastelum said during a press conference. “We won’t raise taxes tomorrow to pay for today’s problem.”

Facing a hostile welcome and little hope, a growing number of migrants have decided to turn back.

“We’re going home defeated, but alive,” said Yaison Roca, 29, a Honduran man travelling with his wife and three children who took part in Sunday’s border stampede and says the crackdown left his family traumatised.

On Monday, a line formed outside a tent set up by the International Organisation for Migration where migrants could ask to be sent home voluntarily. More than 80 requested help from the United Nations body that day, up from just a handful in previous days, officials said.

Answer me this. If these “migrants” are so poor, etc, how did they travel all this way? Where did they get the food? Where did they sleep? Who provided the shoes? Where did THOUSANDS of people go to the bathroom?

I noticed many rode trucks, buses and “flat-beds”. Who paid for these trucks? Who paid the drivers? Who paid for the gas?

Why won’t our own nation tell us? Why isn’t this information KNOWN so we can know WHO is pushing the invasion, and the ultimate destruction of America?

This is really sickening and I feel it will get worse. Note, the purpose of the 2nd Amendment was to make it clear to our “rulers” that the PEOPLE (You and I) have the birth rights to form our own “well regulated Militia” (without ANY government involvement…since WE are the government) and use out own GUNS to defend OUR land….

The call should go out for all real Americans to go to the border, with our OWN GUNS and AMMUNITION…and deal with this problem. We killed MILLIONS during World War 2 since nobody wanted to speak German, but now? My kids are forced to learn a 3rd World Language.

Some news reports right now are saying they were told the President of Honduras was going to Mexico City. They could go with him and get asylum in the US. It sounds innocent. Except…

This is the President that was deposed in the 2009 military/ judicial coup, which the coup organizers blame the US for. In other words, ten years later, the “real” President – in his own mind – is traveling around stirring up trouble, and the group most prominent in organizing the protests… well, I also heard they’ve been fundraising in California. So, a mix of donors, a left-wing cause, a pile of promises… and if you believe the translations of their leaflets, an economic siege of the US and Mexico until both buckle. Presumably, enough to dissolve border controls and reinstall the “real” President to power in the course of answering the US’ many sins…

Perhaps when they return to their home countries they’ll tell everyone they know what a waste of time and effort caravans are, not to mention exposure to the cartels and diseases. That might put a stop to these political stunts.

I don.t think the “migrants” necessarily thought it was a political stunt, unless someone paid them for attempting it. I cannot say the same for those who encouraged and fomented it. The likely suspects for that are American citizens, IMHO. Dimwitcrats and their political operatives and bankrollers (Soros anyone?).

They wouldn’t have been “sent home” any farther than the distance from their home in Honduras and the US embassy in Tegucigalpa, where they would take and file papers. No need to travel here to apply for citizenship or asylum.
